Review Summary

We have enjoyed this exact trip 4 times now and highly recommend it. The Liberty of the Seas is a great ship. Perfect size. Has something for everyone all the time!

We highly recommend this cruise and this ship

The staff and crew are always amazing and we enjoy the various venues they have very much. The Champagne Bar is a favorite.

This was our first time traveling on or near the Christmas holiday with RCI and we did love it BUT we are a couple between 50-70 years old and forgot that there would be many more children aboard due to the Christmas holiday. Our mistake not RCI's They do a great job of offering kid free areas but the overall number of young children and larger families traveling together changed the atmospere a bit for us. However the Christmas Music and Holiday decorations were a delight! Dining at Portofinos is our favorite, which we did twice and we tried the new Wine Sampling Dinner at Vintages which was also very nice, quiet, romantic and private and we enjoyed it very much. Believe it or not it was the first time we attended the Encore Ice Show. It was spectacular and not what I expected at all. The music and costuming was a delight. I loved it and highly recommend that anyone traveling on this class of ship make the time to see it. We have cruised other lines and have found for this price point nothing else compares to the Royal Caribbean experience.

It was all great really except that we had been spoiled in the past with teh singer piana players at the Schooner Bar and the gentleman that played on this trip was good but not GREAT like we had experienced on past cruises.

Ship Tip

Always take advantage of and use your pre-cruise planner. DO schedule specialty dining, expecially at Portofinos. You will NOT regret it! Research and book excursions in advance. Do use pre-paid gratuities and I highly recommend the drink packages. Makes everything easy and no surprises later
